Eggshells

For years, I’ve lived a life of quiet desperation, a prisoner of my own pain. I’ve masked my suffering, pretending that everything was fine, a delicate balancing act on a fragile shell. To cope with the emotional turmoil, I’ve isolated myself, distancing myself from others. But one day, a tipping point was reached. The weight…

A Soul Misunderstood

I bowed my head, a student keen to learn,But your gaze, unkind, my spirit did burn.I sought for guidance, a helping hand’s grace,Yet you found fault, a judgmental pace.My errors, you tallied, a growing list,A harsh critique, a heavy, unfair twist.Even personal thoughts, you deemed a slight,A petty complaint, a darkened night.You twisted my words,…

The Sun, The Moon and The Stars

The melancholic moon, a silver tear hanging heavy in the inky canvas of the night sky, found solace in the company of a wandering soul. Their love story, a silent, ethereal dance, unfolded under the cloak of darkness. Chilly as snow, it remained untold, a mystery forever preserved by the night, a secret whispered only…

Sun-Kissed Rebirth

The silence screamed louder than any words could have. It was a deafening absence, a gaping hole where his voice, his laughter, once resided. He hadn’t slammed the door; he’d simply vanished, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and a heart heavy with the weight of unspoken feelings. I searched for reasons, for answers,…

Woman

She is a canvas, not blank, but a palimpsest of experiences, where the faint traces of yesterday’s stories enhance the vibrancy of today’s masterpiece. Her heart, though pure, is not naive; it carries the delicate etchings of joy and the subtle shadows of sorrow, each contributing a necessary note to the rich, complex symphony that…

Rewrite the Stars

He loved her with a ferocity that clawed at the walls of his carefully constructed world. It wasn’t a gentle flame, but a wildfire raging within him, threatening to consume everything in its path. He saw her, and the foundations of his life crumbled, the gray monotony dissolving into a kaleidoscope of vibrant, terrifying hues.…

1925

The grip, the bond, the brotherhood’s call,A pledge he made, surrendering all.With letters emblazoned, upon his chest,He swore allegiance, putting them to the test.His sweetheart waited, with longing eyes,For stolen moments, beneath twilight skies.But meetings beckoned, and projects arose,The fraternity’s needs, before her sweet rose.He spoke of service, of leadership’s art,Of shaping men, and playing…

Pandemic

A throbbing head, a fever’s sign,Dawn’s early light, a debt I pine.Work’s heavy hand, a burdened soul,A weary path, beyond control.Masked and wary, I journey far,A silent wish upon a star.Strangers near, a fear concealed,A somber note, a heart revealed.Pressed and strained, a daily fight,A mountain’s weight, both day and night.A whispered plea, a soul’s…

Rooftop Reflection

On that night, beneath the moonlit sky,We drank our sorrows, tears, and sighs.With every sip, a memory’s birth,Of love once pure, a precious Earth.You, soon a father, a sacred role,I, a lost soul, a heart grown cold.Beneath the moon, our spirits part,As bitter liquor fills the heart.Each drop, a sting, a poignant pain,Each moment, a…

Carnival

All I wished, a simple plea,To share a moment, just you and me.A carnival’s allure, a festive sight,I thought you’d join, with joy and light.But alas, my hope, a futile dream,Your heart, it seems, finds joy elsewhere, it’s seen.A clown’s caper, a silly sight,Brings you more mirth than my earnest plight.Had you but spoken, honest…

Sagada

Your eyes still droop with longing,As you whisper my name, soft and low,In the fading light of the setting sun,A chill descends, an endless flow.”I wish you were here beside me,”You breathed into the twilight air,But your only companion in the gloom,Is the pillow you clutch in despair.With the dawn’s first blush, will you still…

Sunset

A blush of orange, a violet sky,A whisper of wind, as branches sigh.Silhouettes etched, against the fading light,A painter’s heart, takes joyous flight.This fleeting beauty, a captured dream,A tranquil moment, it would seem.The golden hour, a soft embrace,Nature’s own canvas, time and space.I’ve pondered often, this wondrous show,Why sunsets glow with such a vibrant flow?Is…

The Sky Is In Love

A chill wind whispers secrets,The sky, a canvas of somber gray.Do the clouds, in their silent drifting,Know the lonely thoughts that haunt my day?For now, a deluge descends, a weeping sky,Reaching out, it seems, to touch my soul.The heavens grieve with me, in hushed reply,A sorrow seeping in, taking its toll.The sky, a fickle heart,…

Hell on Earth

Nena’s tears, a whispered, fearful tale,To her sister’s ear, a secret did unveil.“He crept to me in darkness, silent, deep,A blade he held, while I could only weep.”Her mother toiled, for coins their daily bread,Unknowing of the horror, fear, and dread.A cycle spun, where life was deemed thus,A bitter truth, no questions asked, no fuss.The…

A Cry For Freedom

Thank you—I finally stepped out of the shadow of your harsh, watching eyes.You turned my name into a curse, a story twisted in the dark,Staining me with a shame I never deserved.Thank you, truly—I’m free from the lies you wrapped in a holy smile,Hiding flames behind your perfect mask.How was I supposed to riseWhen you…

Pagod na Puso

Pagod na puso,Ano ang kahahantungan?Tanong ng awit, na ‘di maulinigang tinuran.Ang himig ay luha, na ‘di mapigilang dumaloy,Nagkukubling hapdi, sa kaibuturan ay nananaghoy.Pagod na puso,Nais nang huminto,Ngunit pintig nito’y nagpapatuloy ‘di naglalaho.Alaala’y bulong, ‘di maalis sa isip,Pangalan mo’y siyang sinisigaw, maging sa panaginip Gusto ka pang mahalin,Ngunit ‘ang pamamaalam ang mas ninanais.Tunay ngang pagod na…

When Forgiveness Seems Impossible

Is forgiveness merely an emotion, or is it a conscious choice we make? While emotions undoubtedly play a significant role in the process, it’s crucial to recognize the complex interplay between our feelings and our decisions.Consider the act of forgiving a friend who has wronged you. This isn’t a simple task. It’s a journey that…

A Silent Cry

A litany of lies upon my tongue,“I’m well,” I whisper, though my spirit’s wrung.“I’m fine,” I murmur, a hollow, echoing sound,“I’m happy,” I declare, on barren ground.These brittle words, a fragile, false facade,Conceal the emptiness, the soul that’s sad.The “me” they cherish, a ghost of what has been,A shattered image, pieced from memories thin.Though love…
